Immense ball-shaped blooms of bright maroon; free and early. Dreer's White. Introduced by us in 1909, and unquestionably the most valuable Dahlia sent out in many years. In color a pure glistening white, and' re- sembling in form the popular Grand Duke Alexis, while in freedom of flowering it is not surpassed by any. It has succeeded in all part^ of the country, has been much admired at the exhibitions where shown and has in most cases been awarded the premier prize as the finest white show variety. Grand Duke Alexis. Large, massive flowers, ivory- white, with a faint tinge of rose at the extremi- ties of the petals. Mme. Van den Daele. A charming soft rose with deeper markings, shading to white in the centre; a beautiful sort for cutting. Mrs. Roosevelt. Of immense size and remarkably free flowering; color a delicate silvery-rose, which is very attractive when cut. Riese von Stuttgart. Probably the largest Dahlia of this type; a seedling of Souvenir de Gustave Doazon, which it exceeds in size, frequently measuring 8 inches and over in diameter; in color a bright blood-red, shading deeper to the centre; a variety which attracts universal attention. Souvenir de Gustave Doazon. A deco- rative variety of mammoth propor- tions, which, under ordinary culti- vation, will produce flowers 6 inches across, and can be grown to measure full 9 inches. It is of free growth, remarkably profuse-flow- ering and pure red in color. T
